Allmusic[2]

Allmusic editor Andy Kellman found that "in terms of quality and style" the album was "more of a mixed bag than the preceding LP [...] The songs skip across eras, moving from old-school pleaders to liquid late-'80s grooves to trap-styled beats, incorporating a lovely Luther Vandross homage ("That's My Baby") and a Jam and Lewis reunion ("So Hard") super-charged with inspiration from Bill Conti's Rock soundtrack. Gill handles all the turns with his deep baritone, growling and lilting only when necessary."[2]
